My son making his first seedbed.

in ecoTrain5 years ago

The moment we help our children plant a tree, we instill in them a series of values and principles such as love, respect, dedication, responsibility, ecological and social awareness that will help them make the planet a better place for live.

When our children dig a small hole in the ground, they place the seeds, manipulate the soil, water the plants, and watch the trees they planted grow, fill with great enthusiasm, and at the same time learn a great Lesson of respect and love for the nature.

My son and I water the plants every morning, remove some weeds and remove their dried leaves. But there was a moment when he told me that he wanted a plant, and since he had all the matrials, I helped him make his first seedbed.

For this we need:

  • Fertilized land.
  • Containers
  • Seeds
  • Water.
  • Eggshells.

Step 1:

We make holes in the containers so they can have good drainage. Since my son is very young, I made the holes with the help of a fine point knife.

Step 2.

We fill the containers with land.

Step 3.

We make a small hole (it cannot be deep) and place the chili seeds.

Step 4.

Cover the seeds with the same soil.

Step 7.

It was a very fun activity, my son was super excited sowing his seeds.

All trees deserve to be cared for, respected and valued, since they are vital for nature and its relationship with living beings to jointly form an ecologically balanced world, therefore it is necessary for children to know the great value of nature, love it , take care of it, respect it, come closer, feel it and enjoy it.
